Guinness Greatest In Da Street … Shopping Plaza squeezes past South Ruimveldt on third night

THE 2015/2016 Guinness Greatest In Da Street rolled into the third night of competition and it saw the intensity not letting up as another tough day was completed on Thursday at the Burnham Hardcourt.
In game one, South Ruimveldt went down 2 – 3 to Shopping Plaza in a closely contested match which saw the victors strike first and followed up quickly to massively shift the weight. Rawle Turnell scored in the 7th minute then Stephen Dolphin (9th & 10th) jumped in and recorded a brisk brace.

However, South pulled one back in the 13th minute, compliments of Michael Hussein as the half concluded with them behind by two possessions. Stefon Walters scored in the 20th minute to bring the game within one, but time expired before they could find an equaliser.

North Ruimveldt prevailed 3 – 0 over Young Ballers as Nickosie Barker, Colin Daniels and Lenris Carrington all struck once in the first half to make way for the victory.

Sparta Boss won a tough 2 – 0 result over Gold Star after playing to a goalless first half; Dennis Edwards (19th) and Sheldon Shepherd (20th) exploited the opposition when their focus was depleted.

Leopold Street and Holmes Street Tiger Bay entered the winners’ circle when they needled Island All-Stars and Festival City Warriors.

Bent Street held off a stiff challenge from Festival City Street Fighters as the match ended 2 – 2. Street Fighters got off to a shaky start and gave Bent Street the lead with an own goal in the eighth minute. Two minutes later Ryan Hackett struck for Bent Street to firmly put his side ahead at the half.

The second half saw Rich and Juslon Deen score in the 17th and 20th minutes to level the match again but neither side was able to go ahead before the regulation whistle sounded.

Jamoon Drive squared off against North East La Penitence and played to a stalemate. This also was the same result between Channel-9 Warriors and Globe Yard.
